vegetable garden ready for planting something. Can anyone recommend
something to plant? I considered Spinich but I have a slug problem
and the probably would have a field day with the spinich.

Thanks,

You can get rid of the slugs with a little beer poured into a container and put in your garden as bait. They get in it and die. I guess they like beer just a little too much!
